@lemmy.worldCutting back your engagement from 30h a week to 30m is a huge shot against Reddit tho.
I kept my account alive but now only follow a handful of subs and am finding alternatives weekly. Discord. Lemmy.
This all results in a huge loss for Reddit because no one’s there for the ads or promoted posts. And that’s all they’ll have left after a while. And that’s not enough to attract a real base. Reddit won’t die overnight but look at what one fatal move did to Tumblr (when they banned porn). It tanked the site so hard that it’s losing money daily now. A stark contrast from when it sold for billions.
Corporations are far too flippant in thinking they are indestructible. And how they handled the API changes tells you that, like Tumblr, they made a serious mistake.
No one in money cares about long term anything. That’s why. They want the money now. Tomorrow is a problem for tomorrow.
It’s amazing in 17! Noticed first time typing. Especially on the iPad I make substantially less mistakes. It’s a smack in the face change.
Yeah tbh I don’t think any sane person does. So what people who first taught them to read deserve a cut?
Some philosophers believe you cannot imagine something that does not currently exist. All your thoughts and “creativity” are a slave to it.
But in true economy, there’s going to be litigation and money will be made because money always has to be made. This seems akin to the patent trolls some years back. And the RIAA well before that.
